The best thing about the Jags season starting last night is that Del Rio will be gone at the end of the season, his mediocre record of 50-46 will go upside down this year and he will be shown the door.
And, that $115 will save Jacksonville from financial ruin. - Mayor John Peyton

"This is a game-changer. This is what I mean when I say taking Jacksonville to the next level."
-Mayor Alvin Brown on new video boards at Everbank Field

I agree with the broadcast,but since I will be at the games I wont have to worry about that again. I would have gone to the Miami game if it wasnt on a Monday night. From what I saw even though this is preseason we are in for a long season. DG didnt not look good at all.

It's the first game in pre-season, lets see what happens this week. Everyone will settle down a little bit and I think we are still looking at a 9-7 season, which a decent chance of 10-6 ad a playoff spot. I pay $1300 for my season tickets, I have to remain positive...

I like how people are taking the FIRST PRESEASON GAME so seriously.

If the Jags don't win the 2nd preseason game we are doomed for the year...

Seriously. So distraught and from what? A 5-11 team with 30 rookies? A mediocre performance in a preseason game with 11 plays by the 1st team and no game planning?





And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.

True enough... no need to panic but... I have watched some other teams so far this preseason that looked pretty sharp.  The Dolphins surely didnt look any better than the Jags but clearly some teams in this league are farther along than the Jags at this time.
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

No offense BT but... of course they are. I would expect a 5-11 team with 30 rookies competing for starting jobs at almost every position to perform exactly as they did on Monday. I don't expect a playoff run or superbowl this season. I'm hoping for 8-8, to see the team get better throughout the year and some promise out of the rookies. With lower expectations it's hard to get disappointed.

No doubt.  Perhaps my frustration lies at the feet of the QB position...

And to think we could have signed Vick!

Agreed. The team goes as far as Garrard can lead them and right now it isn't very far. His flaws (holding onto the ball too long, locking on receivers) have been there since he arrived. He has worked with different head coaches, different offensive coordinators and different QB coaches. I am sure they all tried to work with him. It seems like when the pressure is on, he cannot stand in the pocket and win a game.

The QB situation is similar to the preseason "the sky is falling" madness. In 07 Garrard broke many passing records set by Brunell in the glory years and took the team to the divisional round of the playoffs.. wipe out a couple td drops in the New England game and who knows.

He spent all of last year on his back behind a decimated o-line and dismal running game. The o-line is now healthy, has new blood and may establish the teams 07 identity. If they do and Garrard fails to make plays then we can blame him... but it's too soon.

If there was a viable free agent or draft pick the team would've pursued it... but there wasn't Vick & Favre included.

Obviously the O-line was beyond terrible last yr...but signing Vick would have at least brought the Jags some attention and maybe some excitement.
I seriously think this is one of the most boring franchises around...I can't find excitement anywhere.
